Cavs Bar
As we prepare ourselves for another great Cavs run at the NBA Championship, I will occupy my time making great wagers on college football that are guaranteed to win you money. Guaranteed only if you bet against me. I brought the record up last week with a 5-2 CFB Saturday, and then followed it up with a 1-3 NFL Sunday. Oh well, overall I am 25-34. On to this weeks picks.
Favorites are in bold
Auburn Tigers vs Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium
Spread: 1.5
Pick: Auburn Tigers
Arkansas has burned me twice, so this week I am going with Auburn. I still worry a bit about their offense, but the defense has looked solid and I think they should win this one on the road. Auburn wins, 27-17.
Ohio State Buckeyes vs Wisconsin Badgers in Columbus, Ohio Stadium
Spread: 16
Pick: Wisconsin Badgers
Buckeyes will win this game, but Wisconsin always plays well versus the Bucks. Look for a low scoring defensive struggle that the Buckeyes milk away in the 4th quarter. OSU wins 20-6 on a wet track.
North Carolina State Wolfpack vs Duke Blue Devils in Raleigh, Carter Finley Stadium
Spread: 15
Pick: Duke Blue Devils
Here is my weekly ACC pick that I will surely get wrong. It just seems like too many points in this game. Duke is bad, but NC State is not much better. Too many points. Wolfpack wins, 35-27.
Arizona Wildcats vs Washington Huskies in Seattle, Husky Stadium - WA
Spread: 3.5
Pick: Washington Huskies
Washington still getting no love after beating USC and almost taking out ND. Third straight road game for the Wildcats even though they had a bye last week. Too much offense for Arizona in Seattle though. Huskies win this one big, 42-24.
Iowa Hawkeyes vs Michigan Wolverines in Iowa City, Kinnick Stadium
Spread: 8.5
Pick: Michigan Wolverines
Iowa never seems to perform up to their billing in big national games like this one. And this is a big one. National TV on ABC at night. Michigan is angry after having lost a heartbreaker to their rivals and are going to give Iowa fits. Take the points, but I think Michigan comes into Iowa City and upsets the Hawkeyes, 35-32.
And the degenerate pick of the week...
Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns vs North Texas Mean Green in Lafayette, Cajun Field
Spread: 6
Pick: Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns
Nobody, and I mean nobody, comes in the Ragin Cajuns backyard and gets a win. While most of the state will be watching the Tigers in Baton Rouge, the true Cajuns will be posting a 'W' on the bayou. Go Cajuns, 35-17.

I love the optimism about the Cavs this season. As long as my knees don't explode we've got a chance
